A witness appearing on behalf of the state of Michigan in a trial over the state’s gay marriage and adoption bans testified Thursday that gay people were going to hell, the Detroit News reported.
The witness, Douglas Allen, had authored the report “More Heat Than Light: A Critical Assessment of the Gay Parenting Literature, 1995-2010.” He criticized the earlier testimony of a Stanford sociologist whose research had concluded that gay parents had no adverse effects on children.
When he was asked by the plaintiff’s attorney if he thought gay people were eternally damned, Allen replied: “Not repentant? Yes.”
